Its peaceful plazas, elegant colonial houses and shady courtyards are a living legacy of the city’s past. Discover the soaring walls of Fort Santiago, a stone citadel where national hero Jose Rizal was held before his execution. Or, for an authentic taste of local history, you can hire a horse-drawn calesa to explore other remarkable sites such as the Baroque San Agustin Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and neo-Romanesque Manila Cathedral. When the evening draws in, treat yourself to delectable Spanish and Filipino cuisine at Ilustrado Restaurant, known for its old-world architectural design and signature paella.
